UK Law - Job Performance Review defamation?
|
Have been with current employer (very large public limited company) for over 14 years in Finance. Of this for 12 years I had very good Job performance reviews. 20 months ago I took a new role. At the time the post for the line manager was vacant. The job was offered to 'X' from outside. X needed time to understand and learn the role of the department, so to buy time started blaming the team for the poor performance of the department. Within two to three months X started to bully our team members. However, X was also able to split the team up in the process and I became the scapegoat. When I tried to seek help from higher line management, no support was given. This is due to the cunning attitude of X - treating people above as God and below as slaves. Admittedly this type of work was new for me and needed a little guidance. Needless to say I didn't get much help but instead got constant negative remarks, impossible deadlines and the worst projects to do. Being soft natured I worked extremely hard, learned the job myself and worked very long hours - hoping to prove myself. Little did I know that X was determined to put a black mark on my character - perhaps to prove a point to benefit self.. This has very stressful to say the least, and has affected my health, personal development and family problems (as I was working almost 10-11 hours daily and at weekends). I had no choice but to put a grievance against bullying and harassment. The case has been partially upheld. This obviously upset X and as a direct result has given a very bad appraisal on my last years Job performance review. Most of the comments are derogatory and defamatory. I have approached upper line management, but as expected they are not willing to change this. Please can anyone advice what my options are? Have already approached HR, but little has been done.

If X has been not been satisfied with your work, have they discussed this with you so you can compromise and reach the outcome required ? If they have not spoken to you regarding any concerns they have and you assume you are performing well then give you a poor review, I would ask for the evidence etc.
As you have made a complaint, X has obviously got an issue with you and this needs to be dealt with by your/their superior/HR asap - you have provided them with a grievance to deal with and they have not done much so raise this matter with your review with them and explain you will not tolerated being bullied and will take legal action. Acas and the CAB provide excellent legal advice with employment issues or you could contact a lawyer who specialises in it. Defend yourself, say if something is not done, you will quit and claim for constructive dismissal as the company is making it very difficult for you to continue working for them - you will have a case as you bought the bullying to their attention previously.
Best wishes. |

Go back to HR and tell them that if they do not respond you'll take legal advice concerning your continued employment with the company. This usually stirs things up wonderfully cos they'll have to bring in senior management.
Be lucky! |
